Funding, acquisitions and company moves in short-term rentals

Who gets funded, who gets bought and who shuts down tells you where the short-term rental industry is heading and which tools will still exist next year. This page tracks venture rounds, acquisitions, mergers, bankruptcies and leadership changes across property management companies, channel managers, pricing tools, guest-screening platforms and the booking sites themselves. Stories are ordered newest first and each one notes what the deal means for hosts who use, or compete with, the companies involved.
